12500 rounds of XM855? That’s no good at indoor ranges or outdoors on steel. Guess I’ll have to pass.
or see if I can sneak it past the wife and stash it in the basement somewhere, you know, for reasons. LOL
AR500 steel will eat XM855 for breakfast at 100 meter, or even less if shooting out of a SBR.
Velocity, not a steel core penetrator, is what tears up steel targets. XM193, with it’s higher velocity, is worse on steel than green tip.
Yep . 855 is also made from a multi component bullets that actually breaks apart a little easier on hardened steel. It was designed to penetrate mild steel. Everyone freaks out about it by all means do you own testing and observation of the impacts from 855, 193, and 262.
I believe you are thinking M855A1
That’s still not a good price per round.
This is the biggest flaw. Not to mention shipping.
There is $500 rebate currently on it………
If this was for M855A1 then it would sell like hot cakes. I am not sure, why that round is so hard to get, considering it isn’t even AP. Brown ells, if you are reading this, please find a way to get civilians M855A1 and M80A1 and in bulk no less. You will make so much $$$$!!!
Merry Christmas everyone!
